Purpose: To evaluate and compare the efficacy and safety of laser in situ keratomileusis (LASIK) versus lens-based surgery (intraocular lens [IOL] exchange or piggyback IOL) for correcting residual refractive error after cataract surgery.
Setting: Private eye center, Salt Lake City, Utah, USA.
Methods: This retrospective study included 57 eyes of 48 patients who had LASIK (28 eyes) or lens-based correction (29 eyes) for residual refractive error after cataract surgery. The visual and refractive outcomes were evaluated at a mean follow-up of 20 to 24 months.
Results: In the LASIK group, the mean spherical equivalent (SE) was reduced from -1.62 +/- 0.80 diopters (D) preoperatively to +0.05 +/- 0.38 D postoperatively in myopic eyes and from +0.51 +/- 1.25 D to +0.19 +/- 0.35 D in hyperopic eyes. Ninety-two percent of eyes were within +/-0.50 D of intended correction. In the lens group, the mean SE was reduced from -3.55 +/- 2.69 D preoperatively to -0.20 +/- 0.50 D postoperatively in myopic eyes and from +2.07 +/- 2.38 D to +0.07 +/- 0.85 D in hyperopic eyes. Eighty-one percent of eyes had postoperative SE within +/-0.50 D of the intended correction. The UCVA improved significantly in both groups. No eye lost more than 1 line of BSCVA. With a similar length of follow-up, no significant difference in postoperative SE was found between the 2 groups (P = .453).
Conclusions: The results showed efficacy, safety, predictability, and merits of LASIK and lens-based approaches for correcting different types of residual refractive error after cataract surgery.

Methods: This retrospective case series enrolled 25 eyes with high astigmatism that underwent SMILERO surgery. Uncorrected distance visual acuity (UDVA), corrected distance visual acuity (CDVA), uncorrected near visual acuity (UNVA), manifest refraction, central corneal thickness, and corneal higher order aberrations were analyzed before surgery and after 3, 6, and 12 months of follow-up.
Purpose: To evaluate residual refractive errors after intraocular lens (IOL) extraction and the safety and effectiveness of refractive correction procedures.
Methods: The eligibility criteria for this systematic review were patients who had undergone cataract or clear lens extraction and had experienced residual refractive error. All study designs were considered for inclusion and non-English publications, non-peer reviewed articles, books, and systematic reviews were excluded.

This study aims to analyze the prevalence and severity of posterior capsule opacification (PCO) and glistening in a new hydrophobic biaspheric monofocal intraocular lens (IOLs) 24 months after implantation. By means of a ambispective, observational, case-control design, a total of 297 eyes from 200 cataract surgery patients were included in the study (118 females and 82 males; mean age: 72.31 ± 9.

Thermal treatment is a common method to improve the properties of optical thin films, but improper thermal treatment processing will result in the degradation of the optical properties of the optical thin film. The thermal stability of niobium oxide (NbO) thin films prepared by magnetron sputtering was systematically studied by analyzing the roughness and morphology of the film under different thermal treatment processes. The results show that the amorphous stability of the NbO thin film can be maintained up to 400 °C.
